Assessors with the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue will fan out from Gallaudet University to RFK Stadium starting Aug. 16 to inspect properties inside and out.

OTR sends its assessors to one neighborhood each year for interior and exterior real property inspections. This year, the chosen area is Old City 1, essentially North Capitol Hill.

The reviews, the office said in a statement, "allow us to validate our assessment data and maintain an equitable property tax system for the District." Natalie Wilson, OTR spokeswoman, said assessors will be in the area into November "or until we complete the assignment."

Assessors are required to present credentials, including a passbook and numbered badge, identifying themselves as OTR employees. Citizens can call 202-442-6760 to confirm an assessor's employment, and residents may refuse entry to the inside of their home.

Interior inspections will only be conducted when an adult is present and the assessor is given permission to enter.
